89: Bunny Hofberg, Frankie's Feline Fund

Bunny Hofberg founded Frankie’s Feline Fund in New York City, with a focus on senior cats. She started volunteering at the ASPCA, then discovered that senior cats could benefit from a greater focus. Bunny depends on a dedicated foster network and generous donors to save these cats, and to provide the necessary care they need to find a permanent home.
